Hello OutSystems Community,

When searching for components in the Forge, one of the critical factors for many of us is the Application Object (AO) count. This is especially important for managing infrastructure costs and complexity.

The Problem: Currently, the only way to determine an asset's AO count is to open its details page. This process becomes inefficient and time-consuming when you are evaluating multiple assets to find one that fits within a specific AO budget. You have to click into each asset, check the number, go back, and repeat.

My Idea: I propose adding a new filter to the Forge search sidebar that allows us to specify a range for the Application Object (AO) count.

This could be a simple interface with two fields:

• Minimum AOs

• Maximum AOs

This would allow us to instantly narrow down the search results to only show assets that meet our specific AO requirements. For example, a developer could search for all assets that have between 1 and 10 AOs.

Benefits:

1. Saves Significant Time: Drastically speeds up the process of finding suitable components.

2. Improves AO Management: Allows developers and architects to quickly find assets that fit within their licensing limits or technical budget.

3. Better Decision Making: Helps in quickly assessing the potential complexity of a component before even clicking on it.

I believe this would be a small but powerful enhancement to the Forge experience for the entire community. If you agree this would be useful, please vote up!

Thanks for your consideration.
